Etymology Competition: Win Writers Festival Tix

Something different this month: we’re running an etymology competition. You could win tickets to the Melbourne Writers Festival (MWF), thanks to our sponsorship of the MWF for 2016.

The prize: Two tickets to a session at the 2016 MWF (details TBC).

To enter: Send us an etymology piece of up to 200 words, exploring the origins of unusual or everyday words. Make it entertaining and keep in mind that we like etymology pieces with a story, not just a dictionary explanation.
